What is this?
An 80 year old
man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45 years
old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window.
The Father asked his son, "What is this?"
The son replied "It is a crow".
After a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2nd time, "What
is this?"
The son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's
a crow".
After a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd
time,
What is this?"
At this time some ex-pression of irritation was felt in the son's
tone when he said to his father with a rebuff. "It's a crow,
a crow".
A little after, the father again asked his son the 4th time, "What
is this?"
This time the son screamed at his father, "Why do you keep
asking me the same question again and again, although I have told
you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand
this?"
A little later the Father went to his room and came back with
an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his son was
born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When
the son read it, the following words were written in the diary
…
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the
sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23
times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was
a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me. I did not
feel irritated at all. I rather felt affection for my innocent
child".
While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this",
the father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question
all 23 times but today when the father asked his son the same
question just 4 times, the son felt irritated and annoyed.
So, if your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look
at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word. Be cool,
and kind to them. After all, we would face the same age soon!
